[It's been a bit of a depressing time for Luke. Xion has her memories again, and everything's been okay - amazing, really, with her... but so many people whom Luke has grown close to have left. His mother, Yuri, Zack, Noel... Guy. For someone who always gets so attached to his friends, it ended up hurting a great deal, more than a lot of other things he's dealt with in this world.
Only days ago, he went to finally get his death penalty removed. It took him a while to recover, and a while before he could get food in his mouth without wanting to throw up, but finally, today, he seems to be okay.
He celebrated during the day with a meal that he could finally taste. It was his favorite, in fact - chicken parmesan. And he ended up shutting his eyes and savoring it, having spent several months without it since it had such a weird texture without taste. It made him truly happy.
And now, in the evening, for the first time ever, he goes to the bar with the intent to get himself his first drink. It's not like he wants to get drunk or anything, but it's merely out of curiosity. A couple months before, Zack had made him a drink, his first one, and Luke did his best to hide that he actually couldn't taste it. Now, though, he wants to see what it was like, more for the memory of Zack grinning and egging him on than anything.
So, once he makes it there, he'll sit at the bar and wait, his gaze occasionally going towards the wall. What was the name of that drink again...?
Later, Luke decides that sitting around and moping isn't going to help him with the pain of missing someone. So, instead, he turns to the journal. ... Now to figure out how to word this properly.]
Um. [Good start. Sort of.] I have something to ask all of you. It's kind of a stupid question, but...
I don't know. Everyone here probably misses someone, so... How do you deal with it? When it gets... bad.
... I'm sorry, I know it's stupid to ask. Just - Forget I said anything, all right?
Uh... [Well, now what does he talk about, with him trying to change the subject and all?] Anyone here play music? The ones I don't see in school, anyway.
[Much better.]

[Asch goes to the bar fridge and starts pulling out several different kinds of fruit and a jug of cream. From the bar itself will come rum, syrup, and a tall glass. He'll get to work blending it all together.]
Don't make that face. You want it, don't you?
[action]
[He's just not about to tell Asch the circumstances on him getting that drink in the first place.]
It... It was weird when I first got it, that's all! Everything's weird when you can't taste it.
[action]
[That doesn't stop him from mixing up one of the drinks anyway, blending the ingredients and some ice and sliding it over to Luke with a garnish of sugar and a strawberry.
...Dammit, now he has to wash the blender too 8| Replicaaaaaaaaa-]
[action]
[He trails off with a helpless little gesture; Asch understands, right? Right. Instead, he'll just watch him make the drink. Better for him to think about finally tasting it rather than talk about when he couldn't.
...
AND IT'S NOT HIS FAULT. 8[ ]
[action]
and it's so your fault]I barely ever spoke to him. Anyway, it doesn't matter- just try it now.
[action]
... But he does want to try it. Zack's gone now, and he at least wants to see what exactly his friend had made for him that day.
So he tips the straw towards him, closes his eyes and takes a sip.
...]
... This is actually kind of good!
[Not his favorite drink in the world, as there's still alcohol present and it makes it taste just a little funny. But it's sweet enough to mask it, and that makes up for it.]
[action]
Of course it's good, this is one of the top seven drinks in Auldrant.
[Seriously, replica, what did you expect? 8|
if it was Falling Shadows he would understand the surprise]
